mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages() is just a convenience wrapper around memcg_page_state() that takes bitmasks of lru indexes and aggregates the counts for those.

Replace callsites where the bitmask is simple enough with direct lruvec_page_state() calls. This removes the last extern user of mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages(), so make that function private again, too. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190228163020.24100-5-hannes@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: clean up the LRU counts tracking". The memcg LRU stats usage is currently a bit messy. Memcg has private per-zone counters because reclaim needs zone granularity sometimes, but we also have plenty of users that need to awkwardly sum them up to node or memcg granularity. Meanwhile the canonical per-memcg vmstats do not track the LRU counts (NR_INACTIVE_ANON etc.) as you'd expect. This series enables LRU count tracking in the per-memcg vmstats array such that lruvec_page_state() and memcg_page_state() work on the enum node_stat_item items for the LRU counters. Then it converts all the callers that don't specifically need per-zone numbers over to that. This patch (of 6): The memcg code currently maintains private per-zone breakdowns of the LRU counters. This is necessary for reclaim decisions which are still zone-based, but there are a variety of users of these counters that only want the aggregate per-lruvec or per-memcg LRU counts, and they need to painfully sum up the zone counters on each request for that. These would be better served using the memcg vmstats arrays, which track VM statistics at the desired scope already. They just don't have the LRU counts right now. So to kick off the conversion, begin tracking LRU counts in those. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190228163020.24100-2-hannes@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:

Only mm_compaction_isolate_{free, migrate}pages may be used when CONFIG_COMPACTION is not set. All others are used only when CONFIG_COMPACTION is set. After this change, if CONFIG_COMPACTION is not set, the tracepoints that only work when CONFIG_COMPACTION is set will not be exposed to userspace. Without this change, they will always be exposed in debugfs whether CONFIG_COMPACTION is set or not. This is an improvement.

Currently one bit in cma bitmap represents number of pages rather than one page, cma->count means cma size in pages. So to find available pages via find_next_zero_bit()/find_next_bit() we should use cma size not in pages but in bits although current free pages number is correct due to zero value of order_per_bit. Once order_per_bit is changed the bitmap status will be incorrect. The size input in cma_debug_show_areas() is not correct. It will affect the available pages at some position to debug the failure issue. This is an example with order_per_bit = 1 Before this change: [ 4.120060] cma: number of available pages: 1@93+4@108+7@121+7@137+7@153+7@169+7@185+7@201+3@213+3@221+3@229+3@237+3@245+3@253+3@261+3@269+3@277+3@285+3@293+3@301+3@309+3@317+3@325+19@333+15@369+512@512=> 638 free of 1024 total pages After this change: [ 4.143234] cma: number of available pages: 2@93+8@108+14@121+14@137+14@153+14@169+14@185+14@201+6@213+6@221+6@229+6@237+6@245+6@253+6@261+6@269+6@277+6@285+6@293+6@301+6@309+6@317+6@325+38@333+30@369=> 252 free of 1024 total pages Obviously the bitmap status before is incorrect.

In node_states_check_changes_online(), N_HIGH_MEMORY is used to substitute ZONE_HIGHMEM directly. This is not right. N_HIGH_MEMORY is to mark the memory state of node. Here zone index is checked, which should be compared with 'ZONE_HIGHMEM' accordingly. Replace it with ZONE_HIGHMEM. This is a code cleanup - no known runtime effects.

On x86_64, 1GB-hugetlb pages could never be offlined due to the fact that hugepage_migration_supported() returned false for PUD_SHIFT. So whenever we wanted to offline a memblock containing a gigantic hugetlb page, we never got beyond has_unmovable_pages() check. This changed with [1], where now we also return true for PUD_SHIFT. After that patch, the check in has_unmovable_pages() and scan_movable_pages() returned true, but we still had a final barrier in do_migrate_range(): if (compound_order(head) > PFN_SECTION_SHIFT) { ret = -EBUSY; break; } This is not really nice, and we do not really need it. It is perfectly possible to migrate a gigantic page as long as another node has a spare gigantic page for us. In alloc_huge_page_nodemask(), we calculate the __real__ number of free pages, and if any, we try to dequeue one from another node. This all works fine when we do have another node with a spare gigantic page, but if that is not the case, alloc_huge_page_nodemask() ends up calling alloc_migrate_huge_page() which bails out if the wanted page is gigantic. That is mainly because finding a 1GB (or even 16GB on powerpc) contiguous memory is quite unlikely when the system has been running for a while. In that situation, we will keep looping forever because scan_movable_pages() will give us the same page and we will fail again because there is no node where we can dequeue a gigantic page from. This is not nice, and it has been raised that we might want to treat -ENOMEM as a fatal error in do_migrate_range(), but this has to be checked further. Anyway, I would tend say that this is the administrator's job, to make sure that the system can keep up with the memory to be offlined, so that would mean that if we want to use gigantic pages, make sure that the other nodes have at least enough gigantic pages to keep up in case we need to offline memory. Just for the sake of completeness, this is one of the tests done: # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages 1 # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages 1 # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages 1 # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages 1 (hugetlb1gb is a program that maps 1GB region using MAP_HUGE_1GB) # numactl -m 1 ./hugetlb1gb # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages 0 # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages 1 # offline node1 memory # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages 0 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/998796/ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190320152658.10855-2-osalvador@suse.deSigned-off-by: -

To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the singular write parameter to be gup_flags. This patch does not change any functionality. New functionality will follow in subsequent patches. Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter. NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast() arguments to ensure that callers were converted. This breaks the current GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final parameter. So the suggestion was rejected.

Pach series "Add FOLL_LONGTERM to GUP fast and use it". HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to its performance advantages. These pages can be held for a significant time. But get_user_pages_fast() does not protect against mapping FS DAX pages. Introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and use this flag in get_user_pages_fast() which retains the performance while also adding the FS DAX checks. XDP has also shown interest in using this functionality.[1] In addition we change get_user_pages() to use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag and remove the specialized get_user_pages_longterm call. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/19/939 "longterm" is a relative thing and at this point is probably a misnomer. This is really flagging a pin which is going to be given to hardware and can't move. I've thought of a couple of alternative names but I think we have to settle on if we are going to use FL_LAYOUT or something else to solve the "longterm" problem. Then I think we can change the flag to a better name. Secondly, it depends on how often you are registering memory. I have spoken with some RDMA users who consider MR in the performance path... For the overall application performance. I don't have the numbers as the tests for HFI1 were done a long time ago. But there was a significant advantage. Some of which is probably due to the fact that you don't have to hold mmap_sem. Finally, architecturally I think it would be good for everyone to use *_fast. There are patches submitted to the RDMA list which would allow the use of *_fast (they reworking the use of mmap_sem) and as soon as they are accepted I'll submit a patch to convert the RDMA core as well. Also to this point others are looking to use *_fast. As an aside, Jasons pointed out in my previous submission that *_fast and *_unlocked look very much the same. I agree and I think further cleanup will be coming. But I'm focused on getting the final solution for DAX at the moment. This patch (of 7): This patch starts a series which aims to support FOLL_LONGTERM in get_user_pages_fast(). Some callers who would like to do a longterm (user controlled pin) of pages with the fast variant of GUP for performance purposes. Rather than have a separate get_user_pages_longterm() call, introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and change the longterm callers to use it. This patch does not change any functionality. In the short term "longterm" or user controlled pins are unsafe for Filesystems and FS DAX in particular has been blocked. However, callers of get_user_pages_fast() were not "protected". FOLL_LONGTERM can _only_ be supported with get_user_pages[_fast]() as it requires vmas to determine if DAX is in use. NOTE: In merging with the CMA changes we opt to change the get_user_pages() call in check_and_migrate_cma_pages() to a call of __get_user_pages_locked() on the newly migrated pages. This makes the code read better in that we are calling __get_user_pages_locked() on the pages before and after a potential migration. As a side affect some of the interfaces are cleaned up but this is not the primary purpose of the series. In review[1] it was asked: <quote> > This I don't get - if you do lock down long term mappings performance > of the actual get_user_pages call shouldn't matter to start with. > > What do I miss?

Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"] putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function. This patch (of 4): The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to shrink_inactive_list(). This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more similar to move_active_pages_to_lru(). To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate. Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages for the both types. So, nr_activate becomes an array. Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

alloc_pages_exact*() allocates a page of sufficient order and then splits it to return only the number of pages requested. That makes it incompatible with __GFP_COMP, because compound pages cannot be split. As shown by [1] things may silently work until the requested size (possibly depending on user) stops being power of two. Then for CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, BUG_ON() triggers in split_page(). Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, consequences are unclear. There are several options here, none of them great: 1) Don't do the splitting when __GFP_COMP is passed, and return the whole compound page. However if caller then returns it via free_pages_exact(), that will be unexpected and the freeing actions there will be wrong. 2) Warn and remove __GFP_COMP from the flags. But the caller may have really wanted it, so things may break later somewhere. 3) Warn and return NULL. However NULL may be unexpected, especially for small sizes. This patch picks option 2, because as Michal Hocko put it: "callers wanted it" is much less probable than "caller is simply confused and more gfp flags is surely better than fewer".

Transparent Huge Pages are currently stored in i_pages as pointers to consecutive subpages. This patch changes that to storing consecutive pointers to the head page in preparation for storing huge pages more efficiently in i_pages.

Userfaultfd can be misued to make it easier to exploit existing use-after-free (and similar) bugs that might otherwise only make a short window or race condition available. By using userfaultfd to stall a kernel thread, a malicious program can keep some state that it wrote, stable for an extended period, which it can then access using an existing exploit. While it doesn't cause the exploit itself, and while it's not the only thing that can stall a kernel thread when accessing a memory location, it's one of the few that never needs privilege. We can add a flag, allowing userfaultfd to be restricted, so that in general it won't be useable by arbitrary user programs, but in environments that require userfaultfd it can be turned back on. Add a global sysctl knob "vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd" to control whether userfaultfd is allowed by unprivileged users. When this is set to zero, only privileged users (root user, or users with the CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability) will be able to use the userfaultfd syscalls. Andrea said: : The only difference between the bpf sysctl and the userfaultfd sysctl : this way is that the bpf sysctl adds the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability : requirement, while userfaultfd adds the CAP_SYS_PTRACE requirement, : because the userfaultfd monitor is more likely to need CAP_SYS_PTRACE : already if it's doing other kind of tracking on processes runtime, in : addition of userfaultfd. In other words both syscalls works only for : root, when the two sysctl are opt-in set to 1.

If not find zero bit in find_next_zero_bit(), it will return the size parameter passed in, so the start bit should be compared with bitmap_maxno rather than cma->count. Although getting maxchunk is working fine due to zero value of order_per_bit currently, the operation will be stuck if order_per_bit is set as non-zero.

It is not clear how the zone id is useful in kswapd tracepoints and the id itself is not really easy to process because it depends on the configuration (available zones). Let's drop the id for now. If somebody really needs that information then the zone name should be used instead.

"cat /proc/slab_allocators" could hang forever on SMP machines with kmemleak or object debugging enabled due to other CPUs running do_drain() will keep making kmemleak_object or debug_objects_cache dirty and unable to escape the first loop in leaks_show(), do { set_store_user_clean(cachep); drain_cpu_caches(cachep); ... } while (!is_store_user_clean(cachep)); For example, do_drain slabs_destroy slab_destroy kmem_cache_free __cache_free ___cache_free kmemleak_free_recursive delete_object_full __delete_object put_object free_object_rcu kmem_cache_free cache_free_debugcheck --> dirty kmemleak_object One approach is to check cachep->name and skip both kmemleak_object and debug_objects_cache in leaks_show(). The other is to set store_user_clean after drain_cpu_caches() which leaves a small window between drain_cpu_caches() and set_store_user_clean() where per-CPU caches could be dirty again lead to slightly wrong information has been stored but could also speed up things significantly which sounds like a good compromise.

SLUB allocator makes heavy use of ifdef/endif pre-processor macros. The pairing of these statements is at times hard to follow e.g. if the pair are further than a screen apart or if there are nested pairs. We can reduce cognitive load by adding a comment to the endif statement of form #ifdef CONFIG_FOO ... #endif /* CONFIG_FOO */ Add comments to endif pre-processor macros if ifdef/endif pair is not immediately apparent.

Currently we use the page->lru list for maintaining lists of slabs. We have a list_head in the page structure (slab_list) that can be used for this purpose. Doing so makes the code cleaner since we are not overloading the lru list. The slab_list is part of a union within the page struct (included here stripped down): union { struct { /* Page cache and anonymous pages */ struct list_head lru; ... }; struct { dma_addr_t dma_addr; }; struct { /* slab, slob and slub */ union { struct list_head slab_list; struct { /* Partial pages */ struct page *next; int pages; /* Nr of pages left */ int pobjects; /* Approximate count */ }; }; ... Here we see that slab_list and lru are the same bits. We can verify that this change is safe to do by examining the object file produced from slob.c before and after this patch is applied. Steps taken to verify: 1. checkout current tip of Linus' tree commit a667cb7a ("Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)") 2. configure and build (select SLOB allocator) CONFIG_SLOB=y CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT=y 3. dissasemble object file `objdump -dr mm/slub.o > before.s 4. apply patch 5. build 6. dissasemble object file `objdump -dr mm/slub.o > after.s 7. diff before.s after.s Use slab_list list_head instead of the lru list_head for maintaining lists of slabs.
